Frequently Asked Questions

What is mule tape and pull tape used for?

Mule tape and pull tape are used to pull cables through conduits during underground utility installations. They help reduce friction, prevent cable damage, and ensure smooth, controlled cable placement across long distances.

Why do contractors prefer mule tape for underground installations?

Contractors prefer mule tape because it combines high tensile strength with low stretch for reliable cable pulling. Its printed footage markings also improve measurement accuracy and material management during installations.

What materials are mule tape and pull tape made from?

Mule tape and pull tape are manufactured from woven polyester or nylon fibers for superior strength and durability. These materials resist abrasion, moisture, and chemical exposure, making them ideal for tough field environments.

How does mule tape reduce friction during cable installation?

Mule tape has a flat woven design that minimizes surface contact between the cable and conduit wall. This design lowers friction, making cable pulls smoother and reducing stress on both cables and conduits.

Do mule tape products include footage markings for accuracy?

Yes, our mule tape features permanent sequential footage markings printed directly on the material. These markings allow precise measurements and help crews monitor cable placement distances accurately.

Are mule tape and pull tape reusable after installation?

In most cases, mule tape is single-use due to stretching or environmental wear during pulling operations. However, some heavy-duty versions can be reused if inspected and maintained properly after removal.

What tensile strengths are available for your mule tape options?

We offer mule tape in various tensile strengths ranging from 1,200 to 6,000 pounds. Each strength level supports specific cable sizes and pulling conditions for safe, efficient performance.

Are your mule tape products resistant to moisture and chemical exposure?

Yes, our mule tape and pull tape resist water, oils, and common field chemicals. Their woven construction ensures reliable performance even in damp or corrosive underground environments.

Can mule tape be used with conduit lubricants for better performance?

Yes, mule tape can be paired with approved conduit lubricants to further reduce friction during installation. This combination improves efficiency and prevents insulation wear in longer conduit runs.
